And neither is Another Brick part 3, I don't care how much the radio plays it. Hush, y'all, and learn something. Yes, it's a good song. Yes, it's fun to rail against institution. Still not the moment. The album is about the pain of losing one's self, hitting bottom, and redemption. But mostly about hitting bottom. Sure, there's that pain and lost feeling in Mother. Everybody (and their little dog, too) identifies with Comfortably_Numb. But the real bottom of the barrel, nothing left but the last raw nerve moment of beauty and pain is Nobody_Home. 080819 ... birdmad I can identify with where Waters was coming from, but I'm also kind of inclined to see Gilmour's criticism of the theme as "A lot of it was Roger pointing fingers at people and basically saying 'you, and you, and you all fucked up my life'" my favorite song off the album is really "Nobody_Home" i think i was baked and had just gotten done watching the movie when i blathed this. 080819 ... dos Certainly Gilmour is right, but I tend to think of that as a required trait in a brooding artist. 080820 ... in a silent way suddenly the longer version of this song feels very prescient. in a spooky way. 161109 ... not black still scared and run_like_hell. nationwide stop and frisk? yikes. 161110 what's it to you? who go blather from
